Training & Consultancy
Training, Consultation & Professional Support for Long-Term Conditions,
Trauma & Workforce Wellbeing
My passion is helping organisations, clinical teams and practitioners navigate the real‑world challenges of supporting people living with long‑term health conditions. My work centres on the places where services often get stuck — trauma, behaviour change, clinical complexity and staff wellbeing.
With over a decade in NHS physical health psychology and my current role leading the academic direction of a clinical psychology doctoral training programme, I bring both clinical depth and practical teaching experience. I support teams to work more confidently with trauma in long term conditions, communicate more effectively with patients, and manage the emotional demands of complex care.
My mission is to improve outcomes for both patients and professionals. Whether you need training, case consultation, supervision or help developing psychologically informed pathways, I work with NHS services, charities, private providers and independent practitioners across the UK to strengthen practice, improve outcomes and support staff to thrive.
Advanced Training
Since 2017, I have played a key role in shaping and delivering the training of High Intensity CBT therapists as part of the IAPT/Talking Therapies Long-Term Conditions rollout across the South East. Over this time I have trained hundreds of CBT practitioners to work safely, confidently and effectively with people whose psychological distress is closely linked to their physical health. Key training includes skills in trauma-informed practice, behavioural change, and managing the emotional complexity that often accompanies long-term conditions.
Staff Resilience
I support staff to manage change and strengthen as a team and as individuals using the evidence-based practice of resilience training. Team-based resilience training enhances team cohesion and creates supportive environments capable of adapting to change with curiosity and flexibility.
Team Building
Applying techniques from therapy to enhance team cohesion, create a compassionate workforce and have fun at the same time!
